The highlight match of round 13 of the Premier League is the great battle between Man City and Liverpool at Etihad Stadium. Erling Haaland still started from the start and Ake replaced Gvardiol on the left wing. On the Liverpool side, Darwin Nunez stands side by side with Jota and Salah in attack.
The match started attractively with quick moves. Man City dominated possession, but dangerous opportunities did not come soon.
In the 11th minute, Alisson passed the ball to Foden in the penalty area, but the Man City striker could not take advantage. A few minutes later, Nunez had a good header but Ederson still successfully saved. Alisson played risky again in the 18th minute. Luckily, Haaland didn’t have time to run in.
Goalkeeper Alisson continued to make mistakes in the 27th minute when he missed the ball. This time Liverpool had to pay the price when Haaland fired a decisive shot. At the end of the half, Foden almost scored but Alisson successfully saved. At the end of the first half, Man City had the advantage over Liverpool.
In the second half, Man City continued to overwhelm the opponent with coherent passes. Alvarez, Doku or Haaland all had good chances, but the home team’s strikers were too ungainly. The ball went into Liverpool’s net twice but was not recognized.
In the opposite direction, Liverpool attacked quite little and relied only on counterattacks. However, they still know how to create opportunities. Nunez almost scored but Ederson played excellently. In the 80th minute, Salah passed the ball to Arnold and the English full-back had a brilliant finish to bring Liverpool an equalizer.
In the remaining minutes, Man City pressed forward, but Haaland was once again ungainly with a diagonal header. In the end, the two teams tied in a 2-goal match. Pep Guardiola’s teachers and students can only blame themselves for attacking a lot but not being able to increase the gap.
